Chapter 379: Untitled (2nd Update)
Huang Renxun returned to Santa Clara's office full of concern, and now in order to save time and money, he and several key personnel almost live in the company.
"Jenson, what about Lam research's plasma etching machine? I know we can't afford to buy a new one, can't we even get a second-hand one?" David Kirk complained when he saw Huang Renxun, "Now if you want to solve the power consumption problem, you have to have Lam's equipment, and if you don't have Lam, we can only amplify the manufacturing accuracy, which is different from what you promised when you came to me." ”
Huang Renxun sighed, "David, I'm sorry, I have to think about the cost, if the accuracy is increased to 0.35 microns, the manufacturing cost will increase by at least 10 US dollars, and the customer will not approve of it." ”
David Kirk is Huang Renxun and coaxed and deceived from Crystal Power to NVIDIA, Crystal Power is a company that makes game consoles, and recently due to the total annihilation of American game console manufacturers, it began to change to specialized PC games, and after being acquired by EIDOS in later generations, it produced the later parts of the Tomb Raider series.
Huang Renxun replaced the position of chief technology officer of Pream last October, and although he was one of the founders, he was too obsessed with square technology and scoffed at the triangle technology that is currently the mainstream in the market.
But the square is too technically difficult, and there are insurmountable defects. After being abandoned by Sega, Huang Renxun couldn't bear it anymore and personally talked to Pream and asked him to switch to triangle technology in the NV3 chip.
But square technology is what Pream has always pursued, and it is almost unacceptable for him to give up, so Pream can only leave Nvidia, although he still retains his shares, but no longer serves as Nvidia's chief technology officer.
Huang Renxun found David Kirk, who was idle at home, and David Kirk was ready to go to work on Intel at this time, but under Huang Renxun's flickering, he joined Nvidia with enthusiasm.
After David Kirk came, he found that the company was really a family with only one unfinished NV3 chip, and TM was based on square technology, which basically needed to be pushed to the ground.
But David Kirk has been holding back in Crystal Power for so many years, and finally has the opportunity to show his strengths, coupled with Huang Renxun's promise and fooling, after nearly three months of research and development, he really made the new NV3 chip a mess.
But if you want to really complete the perfect development of NV3, NVIDIA's funds are really insufficient.
Thinking of this, Huang Renxun found Chris and David Kirk for a meeting and asked them what they thought about Tinder Investment.
As he expected, the two had little interest in it, and only hoped that the company would have the money to continue the development work, and although Pream still had shares, it was already very small and could be left alone.
In the end, Huang Renxun decided that if Zhang Chen could really purchase 500,000 NV3 chips within the year, he would accept the investment from Tinder.
Huang Renxun picked up the phone, found the phone number left by Zhang Chen, and dialed it.
The phone rang a dozen times, but no one answered.
Zhang Chen was a little depressed, and he never imagined that he would be involved in the trouble of illegal possession of marijuana.
Of course, the marijuana is not his, but after the party, the three little girls Britney and their economic people were attacked by the police on the way to the hotel, and the police turned it out of Britney's bag.
Zhang Chen was surprised, he didn't expect that Britney, who was less than sixteen years old, had actually begun to come into contact with marijuana, a soft DU product.
Fortunately, California's attitude towards marijuana possession is more ambiguous, and last year it passed a partial bill to legalize marijuana, and Britney is under the age of 18 and will not be sentenced, even if charged, at most she will be sent to a juvenile reformatory for a period of time, and then fines will be fine.
But Britney was so frightened that she trembled, no matter how mature she looked, after all, she was just a little girl under the age of sixteen, and she was in a rebellious period, she usually had the biggest attitude of a big lady, but when she really encountered something, she was in chaos.
In addition, she has just signed with the company, and if the company knows about it at this time, her future will be completely ruined.
Britney was also sick and rushed to the hospital, she didn't know anyone in the Bay Area, and she didn't want the police to notify her parents and the company, so she had to call Zhang Chen to see if he could help her.
Zhang Chen received the call, thought about it for a while, contacted the legal department of Tinder, asked Tinder's lawyer to go to the police station to pick up Britney, and at the same time called Britney, asking her not to say anything until the lawyer arrived.
With the assistance of Tinder's lawyer, Britney was finally released an hour after being taken to the police station, leaving no criminal record.
Britney started smoking marijuana, entirely out of the lure of her new high school boyfriend after her breakup with Justin. For rebellious children, any preaching is less useful than actual lessons.
Facing the frightened Britney, Zhang Chen didn't say anything, booked her a ticket back to Louisiana, and asked the driver to send Britney to the airport.
Although Britney was riddled with scandals in later generations, through these few contacts, Zhang Chen felt that the other party was just a little girl who liked singing and dancing and liked the entertainment industry, at least for now, and she was still quite kind in nature.
As for smoking marijuana, there are different opinions, and although marijuana is not legal in the United States now, it is undoubtedly an underground culture. Sixteen of the presidents of the United States have been proven to have smoked marijuana. From Clinton in '92 to ****** '16, three successive presidents have a record of smoking marijuana in high school.
Zhang Chen is not bored enough to criticize why a little girl does not have enough willpower to resist the temptation of Du Pin, morality is used to demand for himself, not for others.
On the way to the airport, Zhang Chen just told Britney that if he thought smoking marijuana was a cool thing, he was wrong. In the United States, 65% of women and 75% of men have tried marijuana or other DU products.
And one thing, when everyone is doing it, is not going to be a cool thing.
Britney was so scared that she kept crying after she got in the car, and her eyeliner was washed into two black tear streaks on her face by tears.
Zhang Chen took two paper towels from the paper drawer in the car, moistened them with mineral water, and handed them to Britney.
Britney looked at Zhang Chen gratefully and said in a low voice, "Thank you." "Let's clean my face in the mirror.
Zhang Chen's eyes couldn't help but light up, and Britney, who took off her heavy makeup to wipe away her tears, let Zhang Chen know what a real pear blossom with rain is.
Thinking about Britney's age, she is full of guilt for how she feels.
Zhang Chen sent Britney to the airport, not because he was idle, but because he was going to pick up people at the airport.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and various domestic industries have begun to take holidays one after another, and now Zhang Chen is busy with the development of iCom and the merger of Salomon Brothers and Traveler Group, as well as the listing of Amazon and eBay, and it is difficult to return to China for a while.
Therefore, Zhang Chen and his parents asked whether to bring them to the United States, and this year was spent in the United States.
